This WHOA MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of the date (the “Effective Date”) Customer executes or otherwise electronically agree to the WHOA Service Order (“SO”) by and between Whoa Networks, Inc. (“WHOA”) and Customer.

Services

1.1 Services and Service Orders

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Service Level Agreement located at www.whoa.com (“SLA”), and Acceptable Use Policy located at www.whoa.com (“AUP”), during the term of this Agreement, WHOA will permit Customer to order and access various services and software described on the WHOA Service Order (collectively “SO”) attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Services”), as well as order certain computer hardware and other equipment (the “Equipment”) as described more particularly on SO. Only Services and Equipment explicitly set forth on an SO agreed to by WHOA and the Customer are provided pursuant to this Agreement. Executed pricing agreements or proposals by Customer as contained in an SO take precedence over website pricing and Customer shall be bound to these terms and conditions, provided that the description of Services and Equipment shall be as set forth in the WHOA Services Guide or otherwise by WHOA, which is subject to change from time to time. This right to access the Services and use the Equipment is subject to Customer’s and its authorized users’ compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the SLA, and the AUP. If Customer is ordering Services or Equipment on behalf of an employer, company, or other legal entity, Customer represents and warrants that it has the legal right and authority to order Services or Equipment and be bound to this Agreement. WHOA reserves the right to install software on Equipment including customer virtual machines for the purpose of acquiring system status and system health data.

1.2 PHI and BAA

In the event that the Services require WHOA to use or disclose personally identifiable patient information that is defined as Protected Health Information (“PHI”) in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or its relevant regulations (“HIPAA”) such that WHOA is a “Business Associate” of Customer as defined in HIPAA, (a) WHOA and Customer shall enter into a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) substantially simultaneously with this Agreement, (b) until the BAA is entered into, WHOA shall have no obligations under this Agreement and shall not use, access, retain, or maintain any data of Customer, (c) deletion of data that is PHI shall be subject to the terms of the BAA rather than Section 8.5 of this Agreement, (d) confidentiality of PHI shall be governed solely by the terms of the BAA and not by Section 4 of this Agreement, (e) this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the BAA, (f) to the extent that any term of this Agreement conflicts with the BAA as to the parties’ obligations for PHI, the terms of the BAA shall control, and (g) upon termination of this Agreement or the BAA, the terms of the BAA shall govern the return or destruction any PHI, and to the extent that WHOA retains any PHI following termination of this Agreement as permitted by the BAA, the terms of the BAA will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the BAA to the contrary, Customer agrees that WHOA will only store ePHI (as defined in HIPAA) which is encrypted so that WHOA cannot view any ePHI, and that it is Customer’s sole responsibility to so encrypt Customer’s ePHI, to retain any encryption key(s) for such ePHI, and to authenticate access to ePHI. Customer acknowledges that WHOA is not responsible for any compliance failures that are due to the actions or inactions of Customer.

Payment

2.1 Customer will pay the fees for the Services and Equipment as set forth on the SO, or as otherwise provided by WHOA.

2.2 Upon execution of this Agreement by Customer, Customer shall pay to WHOA the initial setup fee (as set forth on the SO) and payment for (1) one month of usage prior to commencement of any Services. Fees for the Services shall be billed on a monthly basis in advance. In the event that Customer orders additional Services or additional Equipment to be covered by the Services, such additional Services or Equipment shall be provided at WHOA’s current pricing in an official client ticket or additional SO submitted by an authorized requestor and approved by WHOA; provided, however that any requests to reduce the amount of services or lower the monthly billing below the levels initially agreed upon by Customer in the original SO (or if applicable, amended SO) shall not be accepted without WHOA’s prior written consent. Any additional Services or Equipment will be added to the current term of the original, active SO signed by the Customer, unless the additional Services or Equipment is equal to or greater than 25% of the original active SO. In this event the addition of such Services or Equipment will begin a new term equal or greater to the original SO term and all previous SO’s will be extended to terminate concurrently with the additional SO.

2.3 Prior to each service month, WHOA will send an invoice in an amount equal to the fees set forth in the SO. Payment of all fees will be due within twenty five (25) days of the date of each WHOA invoice. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. If Customer for any reason fails to pay the fees to WHOA by the due date of any month during the Term hereof all late payments hereunder will accrue Interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. If in its reasonable judgment WHOA determines that Customer is not creditworthy or is otherwise not financially secure, WHOA may, upon written notice to Customer, modify the payment terms to require full payment before the provision of the Services or other assurances to secure Customer’s payment obligations hereunder. Customer will be liable for all costs of collection (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by WHOA in collection of any outstanding invoices as well as the enforcement of any agreement between Customer and WHOA. In the event of that WHOA brings any action or suit or counterclaims against Customer for Customer’s breach of this Agreement, WHOA shall be entitled to recover from Customer all costs and expenses of the action or suit, reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees and any other professional fees resulting therefrom through trial and any appeal in connection therewith.

2.4 Suspension Or Interruption Of Service

WHOA reserves the right to suspend Customer’s account and the Services provided to Customer in the event (a) Customer’s account becomes past due for more than twenty (20) days, (b) of a violation of the AUP or (c) of a failure to comply with any investigation into violation of this Agreement or the AUP or (d) of any law, regulation or court order, that compels WHOA to suspend services. In the event of such suspension, interruption or disconnection Customer will be required to bring their account current and may be required to subscribe to an auto-payment method.

WHOA will give Customer five (5) days advance notice prior to an account suspension and a chance to cure the grounds on which the suspension are based within such five (5) day period, unless WHOA determines, in WHOA’s reasonable commercial judgment, that a suspension on shorter notice or contemporaneous suspension is necessary to protect WHOA or its other customers from operational, security, or other risk or the suspension is ordered by a court or other judicial body.

Customer will still be responsible for any and all applicable fees and charges incurred before, during and after the date of suspension, and Customer will not receive any credit for the time its account was suspended. WHOA will not be responsible for any losses or damages that may occur as a result of such suspension.

2.5 Taxes

All payments required by this Agreement are exclusive of all national, state, municipal or other governmental excise, sales, value-added, use, personal property, and occupational taxes, excises, withholding taxes and obligations and other levies now in force or enacted in the future, all of which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based on WHOA net income.

2.6 Price Adjustments

On no less than 30 days prior notice to Customer, WHOA reserves the right to increase or decrease monthly fees, and with respect to any Services at any time.
